BREAD-STREET WARD. ----- ••-----• AT a COURT - of WARDMOTE held at the School House of the Cordwainers and Bread-street Wards, ' on the 21st day of December, 1838, and continued by adjourn ment on the 224, before the Worshipful JOHN LAINSON, Esq., Alderman of the said Ward, for the Election of Ward Officers for the year ensuing, It was resolved unanimously. That it is the opinion of this IVardmote that the protracted settlement of the scheme for the future appropriation of the surplus funds of " Carpenter's Charity," amounting to nearly 25,0001., occasioned by the opposition of the Trustees to the Report of the Master in Chancery, after having been about ten years in progress of inquiry, has placed the matter in such a state that it may take four or five years to come to a final settlement, to the great injury and loss both to the inhabitants and the funds. That this Wardmote has received with feelings of unmixed and unfeigned regret a letter from Henry Lainson, Esq., intimating, that owing to the illness of a part of his family, and his consequent frequent absence from town, he retires from the honourable office of one of the Representatives of this Ward in the Court of Common Council, and convinced of the sincerity of Mr. Lainson's assurance, " that it will at all times afford him much pleasure, if in his power, to promote the interests of this Ward ;" this Wardmote anxiously hopes that Mr. Lainson may, in the retirement of domestic life, enjoy that happiness which results from the conscientious and honourable discharge of public duties. That this Wardmote is anxious to express the high sense it en tertains of the long sad valued services of the late Deputy, 'Wil liam Mathie, Esq., who, during a period of forty-two years was one of the representatives of this Ward in the Court of Common Council. His constant and zealous attention to the duties of his office—his integrity of principle and urbanity of manners, will long endear his memory to the inhabitants of the Ward of Bread-street, and while they sincerely offer their condolence. to his afflicted daughters for the irreparable loss they have sustained, they entreat " them to reflect, as some alleviation, on the high character of thoir parent, as a husband, a father, and a friend. That a fair copy of the foregoing Resolution be signed by the Ward Clerk, and presented'to the family. That. it is the opinion of this Wardmote that the existing Corn law is unjust in principle and pernicious in effect, and that the Re presentatives of this Ward be requested to support any measure made in the Court of Common Council for its repeal. That the cordial thanks of this Wardmote be given to the Wor shipful John Lainson, Esq., Alderman, for his kind and charitable feeling in bestowing his presentations to Christ's Hospital upon the children of inhabitants of this Ward, for the seal, ability, and in tegrity, with which he discharges the arduous duties devolving upon a Magistrate of this city—for the ready access he has uniformly afforded to the inhabitants of this Ward—for his polite attention to his fellow-citizens—and for his impartiality during the present Election. That the foregoing resolutions be inserted in the usual Morning and Evening Papers, and signed by the Ward Clerk. JAMES JOSIAH MILLARD, Ward Clerk. METROPOLITAN LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

IRELAND A PARADISE.—Your stupid English man retires to bed after his daily labour is ended. Your livelier 111ilesion then only lays himself out for pleasure, and betakes himself to shoot at a Justice of the Peace, or still better, to amuse himself with a too-roo among the Peelers. Do you go out to dinner ? Calculate at being fired at when returning. Do you require a physician ? The odds are that the honest doctor is qualified for a patient himself before he leaves your lawn. Do you delight in hunting ? You will find the monotonous period of waiting at the cover-side agreeably diversified by the occasional whistle of a musket-bullet from some ambushed Rockite ; and if you venture to send a horse out to be shod, your groom returns solus to acquaint you that the quadruped is no more, and that the gentleman who dispatched him sent you his regrets that he was so unlucky as to miss yourself ; but by the assistance of the Blessed Lady—for they are a pious and religious race—he hoped to be more successful on a future opportunity. Are you fond of a quadrille ? Ascertain before you attempt your first chasm; that the ball-room windows are bricked up, and a guard of honour stationed at the door. Are you, unfortu nately, a parson ? Insure your life to the uttermost farthing you can raise—arrange your affairs—perfect your will— and, if you be curious in posthumous renown, prepare your epitaph ; then demand one-thirtieth of your tithe, you arc a dead man to a moral certainty, and your heirs, execu tors, and assigns secure of opulence within a fortnight.— Maxwell's Wild Sports of the West. It is in contemplation to erect a new light-house at Calais, 200 feet high, im the room of the Tour du Guet, which stands only 120 feet above the level of the sea.

CHRONICLE.—The appearance of the English Stock market on the whole is much the same as yesterday, although Consols have sustained a slight depression ; but indeed business of any moment may be now said to be sus pended until after the holidays. Consols left off at 934 to for the opening, and Exchequer Bills at 635. to 655. premium. India Stock is shut, so that there is nothing to ascertain the feeling of moneyed men connected with India as to the news from Bengal. All kinks of Foreign Stocks are heavy, and most of them have undergone a depression, which is more especially marked in Belgian, the last price of that security being 971 to 681, a further fall of one per cent. since yesterday. Spanish Active left off at 16 to h ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 2e4 to 291 ; ditto Three per Cents., 18i. to 19 4 ; Dutch Five per Cents., 100 8 . to ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 544 to 7- ; Brazilian, 761 to 771 ; Mexican, 22 t o 03 ; Colombian, 254 to ; Peruvian, 15} to 16i , and Chilian, 25 to 26. Shares are wholly without change or interest. Birming ham old remains at 74 to 76 prem. ; ditto, new, 23 to 24 prcm. ; Southampton, old, 44 to 45 per share ; ditto, new, 19 to 20 p rem . ; G reat W estern, 10 to 11 prem. ;Leeds and Manchester, 18 to 20 prem. ; Birmingham and Derby, 10 to 8 dis. ; North Midland, par to I prem. • Midland Counties, 1.5 to 14 dis. ; B r i g h ton , 3i to ' dis ; and Blackwall, 2 to 14 dis. The ports have now been opened for an entire week, and yet the arrivals of foreign corn have been exceedingly small, while it is estimated that not more than the trifling quantity of about 10,000 quarters remained in London to be taken out of bond. The prices yesterday were even rather higher at Mark-lane, and the corn factors very gene rally expect that a further considerable rise in all de scriptions of grain may be expected in the spring ; for it is already ascertained that the deficiency of the home harvest has been too large to allow of its being made up by the limited importations of foreign corn which now are expected. In addition to the prohibition of the recent exportation from Belgium, the closing of the ports of the kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies is considered by the corn-factors to be an important pro ceeding with reference to the trade, as the harvest in that part of Europe has been superior to that of some other countries, and considerable supplies might have been ex pected from Sicily, if the ports had not been suddenly closed, to the extent perhaps of 200,000 quarters, the crop of last year being about 5,000,000 quarters. There is now scarcely any country from which corn can be imported, ex cept from Russian ports on the Black Sea ; and this state of the corn trade has led to veryremarkable views of the work ingof the Corn-laws, in so far as the system isso much defended on the ground of rendering us "independent of foreigners ," for some of the factors at Mark-lane remark that we are precisely, on the contrary, "dependent" on the very foreign power to which England would the most strongly object to be under the necessity of resorting for supplies of the necessa ries of life ; for should the Emperor of Russia think proper to imitate the policy of the King of Naples, and close the ports of the Black Sea against the exportation of grain, our foreign supplies must almost entirely cease for the next six months. So far, therefore, as this absurd system of Corn-laws is in tended to render us " independent of foreigners," it is clear that we have become dependent upon the despotic govern ment of Russia, which, by an imperial ukase, could now at any moment refuse us supplies of food, and could thus contribute most materially to the domestic and politi tical difficulties of England, in a manner which the Govern ment of this country must assuredly consider worthy of consideration, with reference to that boasted attribute of the Corn-law system which renders us " independent of fo reigners" for supplies of corn. Indeed the very merchants are becoming apprehensive of purchasing corn in the despotic countries, for the entire value of the property is at the mercy of Governments, which, without notice of any des cription, could suddenly prevent the cargoes from going out of port, and thus the English speculators might be ruined, without the right of resistance from our own Government. An instance of this system has occurred at Naples, where cargoes were just on the point of leaving when the decree appeared for closing the ports, and the loss to the purchasers m7y be very considerable. No such consequence s oould possibly be witnessed if the trade in corn were regularly thrown open, for the grain could be grown in so many na tions, and the stocks would always be so abundant, that no particular country would have any material influence over the supplies, and our boasted "independence of foreigners" would thus in reality be secured. The Message of the President of the United States has not produced any effect in the city, e ith er i n a po li t i ca l , commercial, or financial point of view. TIMES—The accounts from Bombay by the overland mail come down to the Ist ult., and we have therefore another tolerably expeditious delivery of letters, by the way of Egypt, of fifty days. It is material to notice this, as every instance of success strengthens the preference already given to that route for the regular communications with India, and should stimulate the exertions of all concerned in the arrangements to bring them up to the greatest possible degree of perfection. Besides the declaration or manifesto of the Governor-General, the papers do not bring anything of importance. Owing to the extent of the military prepa rations for the expedition to the northward, Bombay pre sented an unusually animated scene. The Semiramis steamer had arrived from Vingorla, bringing the 18th Regiment, and it is remarked, that "in a few days more we shall hardly have standing room in Bombay, if we may judge from the increasing mass of little white pyramids which are stretching across the esplanade on every side." The Coate, a vessel carrying the expedition against Aden, had been spoken with at sea by the Berenice, and supplied with provisions. She had made only ten miles in the previous 24 hours, and was then 200 miles f rom Ad en , so t h at i t was feared the troops would arrive much out of condition. The Chamber of Commerce at Calcutta, with a view to remedy the inefficiency of the Bombay steam arrangements, was about to send in a proposal to the Government to despatch the new steamer, the Enterprise, with the De cember packets, direct from Calcutta to Suez. Adverting to the great benefit to the merchants from Mr. Waghorn's arrangements for expediting the mails, the Bengal H 14 7, kern of the Bth of October remarks, that but for the arrival of his May packet in London on the 9th of July, the indigo sale would of h t a h v e e b w e a c e n t far of I p es r s op fa er vou fa r e a f b li l t e i . es s c o o e m z: tphlaroinusg, it seems,hthetoo speedy departure of the steamers, instead of waiting a few hours for the coming up of the French mail, but it is very rare that any necessity of the kind arises.

POST. --The Message of the American President, on the opening of another Session of the Congress, does not seem to have quite answered the expectation of our City readers. Mr. Van Buren certainly speaks in a more sub dued tone of the banking interests of the Republic, but then he still clings to his old hobby, the Sub-Treasury scheme, a measure which has been over and over condemned by every respectable merchant and banker in the Union, and, as regards his allusions to the interference of American citizens on the Canadian frontier, the general idea appears to be, that he is needlessly circumspect, cold, and formal. HERALD. —Th e l eng thy a ddress of the A mer i can President, w hi c h has been the su bj ect o f so much antici pation, has not created the sensation which was expected. It is considered here to be an ill-digested document, abounding with prolixity but wanting pith or anything of the statesman which the Presidents of the hydra-headed republic ar e so wont to assume. Th e a ll us i on to the re bellion on t h e frontiers of Canada is considered satis factory, thou g h th ere i s no b o ld ness i n th e t one b y w hi c h that di sgraceful affair, on the part of the United States ' scamps, is repudiated. The boundary question is also held to amount to little more than a milk-and-water equivocation on the part of the President. The reference to the in creased stability of the commercial and banking system of the United States, of which Mr. Van Buren assumes that his monetary policy has been the cause,has been nothing more than a subject of ridicule here, inasmuch as nothing but the energ i es o f the peop l e ena b led them to surmount his destructiv e monetary and financial decrees. Beyond this we need not allude to the inaugural address of the President of the United States, since it has been amply treated of elsewhere. HARE ON SPINAL DISEASE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.) ..... PORTSMOUTH, D EC . 2—The Cornwallis, 74, and Malabar, 74, had arrived at Bermuda from Halifax, both having been oa shore in the St. Lawrence, their bottoms were examined by means of Bethel's diving apparatus ; the Cornwallis had sustained little injury, but the Malabar is so damaged, she is now on her way home ; whilst on shore she threw her lower deck guns overboard. A Court martial held on he Pilots terminated favourably to them. The Race-horse had returned from New York. The Vestal had been flag-ship for some time at Bermuda ; the Skipjack schooner was also there, having returned from protecting the fisheries in the Bay of Fundy. The Ad miral Honourable Sir Charles Paget, we are glad to state, was recovering from an attack of rheumatism, under which he had been suffering, and was to procceed, with his flag on board the Cornwallis, on the 28th of No -1 vember, to Barbadoes, when the fleet would be dispersed. The Crocodile, 28, left Bermuda in company with the Pearl, for Barbadoes. The Thunder, surveying vessel, the disasters that befel which in a hurricane which caught her at anchor on the Bahama bank, we related in our Journal of the 10th inst., was refitting at Bermuda. The surveying schooner Lark, appears to have escaped without much damage in that hurricane, being near Androi Island, which is much sheltered, and in shoaler water. The Pearl is ordered to Sheerness to be paid off. The Sparrowhask was at Monte Video on the sth October ; the Calliope, at Buenos Ayres ; the Sparrow ketch sailed on that day for the Falkland Islands ; the Stag bad gone to Bahia ; the Electra was about to come to England, wanting repairs.

The Partridge, 10, is ordered to proceed to the River Gambia, with presents to the Chiefs in that quarter. The Electra, 18, is ordered home from the South Arne rican Station to be docked, in consequence of her copper peeling off. The Beagle, surveying ship, Capt. Wickham, was at Ho bart Town on the 9th July. Lieuts. Lushington and Gray had been landed to the northward of Swan River to make an inland excursion. The Mastiff, surveying vessel, at Woolwich, is ordered to be loaded with provisions (except salt), and proceed to Li verpool as a receiving ship for newly raised seamen.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Chairman, and a full Rend' of Magistrates.) COUNTY RATES. The CHAIRMAN said that he had felt it his duty tc>bare the opinion of the Attorney-General as to the necessity of: making any retrospective reduction in the rates mad!c by the Magistrates in consequence of the recent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, and the Deputy Clerk of the Peace would now read the case and the Learned Atteir.. ney's opinion as follow : THE QUEEN V. ST. GEORGE, HANOVER-SQUARE. The following is a copy of the rule drawn up on the judgment given by the Court of Queen's Bench, after the argument of the special case, viz.:— Saturday, the 17th day of November, i n th e sec.and year of the reign of Queen Victoria. Upon hearing Counsel on both sides, it is ordered that an order of Sessions made, upon the appeal of the ch arch wardens and overseers of the poor of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, in the county of Middlesex,. against a general county rate, made by the keepers of the pc ace and Justices of the said county, on the 27th day of October, 183 G, in pursuance of an Act of Parliament passed- in the third year of the reign of his late Majesty King George IV., intituled " An Act for regulating the office of treasurer, and altering and amending the Acts now in force for a ssess ing, collecting, and levying county rates, so far as the same relate to the county of Middlesex, and of the severe I acts then in force for assessing, levying, and collecting rates , and by which rate the parish was assessed at the stun of 1,116/.75., be quashed for the insufficiency thereof." Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL for the prosecutor, Mr, BOD KIN for the defendants. BY THE COURT. CASE SENT TO THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL. It will be seen by this rule that the order of sessions only (whereby the appeal was dismissed and the rate con " firmed) was quashed, but not the rate itself. The conse quence of the judgment given by the Court ought, no doubt, to have been that the rate should be quashed, but the ap pellants did not, nor were they in a situation to move that it should be quashed, inasmuch as the certiorari by which the order of sessions was removed, did not extend to the rate. It appears by the General County Rate Act, 12 Geo. 11, cap. 29, sections 18 and 21, to be necessary that a county rate shall be removed by certiorari before it can be quasited. If, however, the rate must be considered as qua shed by the effect of the rule, it will be necessary, under the I'.Bth section of the 12th of George 11., to allow the rate t[the whole of which has been collected, not only from the apipel !ants, but from all the other parishes in the county, and disposed of two years ago), out of the next rate which ehall Le made ; but in that case it will be just and proper to allow it not only to the appellants but also to the several other parishes in the county, otherwise the appellants will be in a better situation than the other parishes. The Attorney-General will be pleased to peruse the Act of the 12th of Geo. 11., cap. 29. sec. 18 and 21, and to con sider the effect of the rule of the Court of Queen's Bettch, and advise the Justices of Middlesex—l st. Whether or not the rate of 27th October, 1836, must be considered to have been quashed. 2d. In case the Attorney-General shall be of opinion that the rate has been quashed, whether the Justices ought in making the next rate to allow the amount of the rate of October, 1836, to all the parishes in the county, or to the appellants only ? ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S OPINION. Looking to the form of the rule of Court, and consider. ing that no writ of certiorari has been sued out to quash the rate, I think that the rate cannot be considered as quashed, and that neither the appellants nor any other parties are entitled to have the amount of that rate to be allowed from the next rate to be made. The Justices will consider the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench as an authoritative exposition of the law, and will in future he guided by it ; but I do not think that it can have any retrospective operation.

An derson, J. Williams. The Court at its rising adjourned to the 31st instant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. BIGAMY AND BRUTALITY.--On Saturday T. C. Gal laghcr, a journeyman watchmaker, was charged - with bigamy. bliss Johnson, a schoolmistress, stated that in 1836 the prisoner was introduced to her sister by a young person formerly her pupil, and that he paid his addresses to her, and married her. Since that time she had been very ill used by him, and was obliged to be taken home by witness. Having heard that the prisoner had been previously mar ried, inquiries were made, and it was discovered that he had been living with his first wife again ; but that he bad turned her into the street, after robbing her of the little property she had brought over from Ireland with her. The first wife said that she had been five years married to her husband. The ceremony took place at Kilrain, Tuam, Ireland. The prisoner said that the first marriage was bad, having been performed at night by a drunken old monk, who was so tipsy that the book dropped from his hand twice. Sir P. LAURIE said that this was a crime which was in creasing very much, and that not one case in twenty came to light. The prisoner should not get off from the great dis tance from the place of his marriage, and he would commit him for a second examination, that witnesses might be sent for. In the prisoner's pocket was found a written defence to a supposed charge of bigamy. William Alill4, a young man of respectable appearance, was committed for trial for stealing two bags, containing 11 sovereigns, from the pocket of William Drake, of Shepherd's Bush, foreman to a brickmaker. The prisoner was one of the three fellows who hustled the prosecutor in Rose-street, Newgate-market, about seven o'clock on Saturday ; and though the prisoner skipped over hampers, &c., with great agility, the brickmaker kept up with him, and regained the whole of his money. HATTON-GARDEN. Two sisters, named Mary and Maria Williams, girls of bail character, were charged with robbing a weather-beaten sailor n ame d Holl, of his c l o th es an d five sovereig ns .— They were fully committed for trial.
